Cannondale 20 Inch Wheel Bikes

Which features matter the most to you? 

Most bike computers are wireless, and GPS enabled, with large customizable displays and extended battery life for long rides.  

Higher-end models offer powerful processing, a more sophisticated user interface and features like: 

• The ability to send and receive notifications when paired with a compatible smartphone 

• The ability to connect to multiple GPS satellite systems for fast, precise tracking 

• Advanced tracking for things like elevation, cadence and power (including options to add special sensors to improve accuracy) 

• Turn-by-turn guidance and better basemaps for the navigation system 

• Mountain-biking specific metrics, including jumps, airtime and smoothness of descent, plus connectivity with Trailforks for trail information and navigational data 

• Built-in solar charging for extended run time 

• Heart rate monitor integration for training insights 

What trails do you want to ride most?

• Trail bikes are best for most riders who want to do a bit of everything
• All-mountain bikes are best for trail riding and riding all over the mountain
• Cross-country bikes are best for smoother trails with fewer technical challenges
• Fat-tire bikes excel on snow or sand or rough surfaces
  

Hard-tail or full-suspension?

• Hardtail bikes have only a front suspension fork and are less expensive. They're great for beginners or those who ride smoother trails.
• Full-suspension bikes have a suspension fork up front and a rear shock; they provide more control ad comfort over rough terrain.

What wheel size is best for me?
The number refers to diameter of the wheel. Generally, 27.5 in. wheels have faster acceleration while 29ers are more efficient on longer rides and roll over objects more easily.

Which frame material?
Pick carbon if you want the lightest frame and don't mind paying a premium. Aluminum frames are more affordable and some can be relatively lightweight.
